Exegesis
The subject, described as tsaddiq {צַדִּיק | ṣad-dîq} ‘righteous’, is affirmed by the pronoun hu {הוּא | hūʾ} immediately before the intensified promise chayeh yichyeh {חָיֹה יִחְיֶה | ḥā-yōh yi-ḥyə} ‘he shall surely live’, where the infinitive absolute plus imperfect underscores certainty.
In context — Ezekiel 18:9
He who walks in My statutes and keeps My judgments to do truth, he is just ; he shall surely live, declares the Lord GOD .
